My Health Care Story: Universal Health Care for All!

Hi, I'm Kim. Here's my story about why I'm an advocate of a universal health care plan in the US.

Over 400 views in just over 24 hours since posting this video. The Health Care Reform bill was passed. Thanks everyone for your support!!

Yes we can!!!

I found 84 percent on a govt website for businesses for insurance stats. I'll have to find the exact citation.

I lived in Canada for 8 years and they pay slightly more taxes than in the US.

The Spanish Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to health, ours does not. That may not matter to you but it does to me. A few facts you seem to gloss over. Spain has one-third as many MRI units per million people as the United States. On average, Spaniards wait 65 days to see a specialist, What's that number here? rehabilitation and care for those with terminal illness are usually left to the patients relatives. Spain has fewer physicians and per capita than the United States.

I'll just say one thing, I was in Spain when I tore my ACL. I had an MRI done within a few hours. I had great medical attention, and knee is perfectly fine now.

I am not speaking from stats or averages or report numbers - every point in my video is made because I actually experienced it.

If you've ever been to a hospital in Spain, I'd love to hear more. But factoids that are pulled from some website don't cover real experiences! Pls share your experiences!

Thx for ur comment though!

Kim, i really appreciate your video. statistics can and are commonly manipulated to lie. i truly believe that it was and is personal stories like yours that have won this battle. BUT the war isn't over. they called it political suicide to back this, i think that now we have to make sure that we support those that voted YES on March 21st.

We will need to hire some 16,500 new IRS agents to police compliance with all these new mandates and administer various fines. So in government terms, this is also a jobs bill. Never mind that this program is also likely to cost the private sector some five million jobs.

Voting largely on party lines, the state House defeated a constitutional amendment Monday saying Georgians should not be forced to be part of national health care reform.

They don't answer for a redress of grievances as they were served in all States over a year ago with grievances and they ignored them. Were you not aware of that fact?

[birdsarewild]

Would you like to explain your 84%? Your statement reads like you think they pay 84% of their profit for health insurance.

[birdsarewild]

Unfortunately you did not ask them what they paid in taxes.
